Jim McKnight’s Straight Science? asks why, if there is a homosexual gene,
should the human genome maintain a population predisposed to non-reproductive
sex? McKnight argues that straight men carrying just one gay gene have a
reproductive advantage. That’s to say they make better fathers and their
children are more likely to survive. McKnight has political nous,
but—let’s face it—he’ll still get a kicking. Published by Routledge,
£14.99, ISBN 0415157330.
